I had to turn off alerts, which is the biggest point of the app, because it harasses me with frequent repeats of the same alerts over and over and over every few minutes, eg when a thunderstorm is in a town miles away and heading farther away. Tried to put up with it for a long time but finally couldnt take it any more. Im assuming there was some slight difference in the notices, but im not going to read them all. Im sure no one will. The app or server should recognize that it already sent essentially the same message. This is the kind of thing computers do so easily, filter out duplicate data. But this just lazily passes it on.

My wife and I installed this app on our phones so that we could get overnight alerts in the event of a tornado watch or warning. The app fails to give alerts! We only get alerts when we open the app. We’ve double- and triple-checked our notification settings in the app and in our phones’ general settings, and everything should be working fine. But it’s not.

This is a critical feature of this app. And the Washington Post’s Capitol Weather Gang frequently recommends installing the app to get overnight weather alerts. But clearly the app isn’t a reliable failsafe.

Hello developers - I am a meteorologist and had been recommending this app to all of my friends for robust and reliable weather alerting. Everything about it was great. Within the last couple of months, I stopped getting alerts. I asked around, and several friends are having the same issue. We are all on various newer iPhones. I tried turning notifications on and off, alerts worked once, then quit again. I tried deleting and resetting my location, got one set of alerts, and it quit again. The alerts are there if I open the app, but no notifications are received. I am now deleting and reinstalling the app, to see if that helps, but I’m nervous about having recommended this to so many people.
